I am going to North Dakota mid November for my first time and its on private land I can't wait! I'm tired of making my dog try to find pheasants that aren't where I hunt in Colorado or find one only to be a hen. She has an amazing nose so I am more excited for her to finally get on birds so hopefully there are still some pheasants and some decent weather! Good luck and let me know if you need someone to hunt with I have thurs through Saturday off every week :-)
